How to Use the Crafter CMS MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf read my active Crafter CMS configurations?

Yes, Cascade actively reads your setup. It calls getsiteconfig to check GraphQL URL limits and grabs structured rules using the globals tool.

Q: How do I test delivery constraints from the IDE?

Just ask Cascade to inspect the internal arrays. It uses searchcrafterdelivery to mitigate picture constraints and verify your headless data is resolving correctly.

Connect Crafter CMS to Windsurf and let Cascade query GraphQL, update XML content, and publish changes straight from your editor.

Perplexity

Windsurf writes Git-based XML directly

This MCP server gives Cascade direct write access to your headless CMS. You tell it to build a new landing page structure, and it immediately calls `write_studio_xml` to generate the exact content nodes in the background. Need to change nested folder hierarchies? The agent runs `get_studio_tree` to map out the current structure before making any structural extractions. No manual jumping between your IDE and the Crafter Studio dashboard required.

Query GraphQL without leaving the IDE

The GraphQL tool lets you test headless queries against your CMS without breaking focus. Now you just ask your agent to fetch specific payload IDs, and it executes `execute_graphql_payload` right inside the editor pane. Getting site parameters works the same way. Cascade pulls `get_site_config` and `get_site_globals` to understand the active configuration rules before it writes any frontend code that depends on them.

Publish content via this MCP Server

The publishing tool pushes your headless content to the delivery engine in one command. Once your new pages look correct, the agent triggers `publish_crafter_content` to migrate those Studio changes onto the live endpoint. Mistakes happen, so rollback is just as fast. If a test deployment fails, Windsurf can fire `wipe_studio_xml` to drop those live database bytes and vaporize the broken app nodes before anyone notices.

Yes, Cascade actively reads your setup. It calls `get_site_config` to check GraphQL URL limits and grabs structured rules using the globals tool.

Managing rented context domains is built right in. Your agent runs `list_platform_sites` to identify active arrays across your entire platform. Then it targets the specific site you need to update.

Just ask Cascade to inspect the internal arrays. It uses `search_crafter_delivery` to mitigate picture constraints and verify your headless data is resolving correctly.

Your proprietary nested XML structures and Git hierarchies stay isolated. Vinkius runs this connection inside a zero-trust V8 sandbox, meaning the agent only sees the specific folder trees it requests and nothing is stored permanently.
